I am using Mathematica 4.1, but I suspect all versions do the same in this
case.
In[1]:=
Infinity + Pi * I
Out[1]=
Infinity
I think it the input above should return itself.
Am I wrong here? If we do it my way the following would return
-Infinity. (*Negative Infinity*)
In[1]:=
E^( Infinity + Pi * I )
Out[1]=
Infinity
Either way it's an interesting example.
